The reaction from the Left to President Donald Trump’s new tariff regime has been predictable. Like everything he does, this too will kill us all. Somehow.
It’s disturbing to see how many on the right are either in agreement with this knee jerk Leftist invective or express varying degrees of confusion. Some like this article from PJ Media seem to be hedging. The tariffs might work or they might not, they say:
“Being a wartime president is a high wire act. The PR battles matter greatly because your capacity to fight is limited by the electorate’s stomach for the mission. If you can’t sell the war, you’re probably not going to win it.
But all the cool, crafty PR tricks won’t mean a lick if your troops get their [tushies] kicked on the battlefield. War is a reality-based enterprise. You can’t bull[EXPLETIVE] your way to victory.”
I get it. There’s a risk to this strategy. There’s a risk to every strategy, however. And what’s interesting about this editorial is the writer has hit very close to the mark by characterizing Trump as a “wartime” president. Though in the writer’s mind the “war” in question is a figurative trade war and not an actual war. A war war.
It’s not a trade war. It’s not figurative at all. This is war.
And we as a country have a very big problem if we haven’t figured this out by now. The People’s Republic of China has been waging what it calls “hybrid war” against our country for more than a decade.
That’s not the terminology used by China experts at some think tank or policy mavens in some Ivy League panel. China, that big land mass teeming with people just across the Pacific Ocean, calls it “hybrid war.” And they are waging that war specifically against the United States. Against us.
Hybrid war isn’t just an aggressive term the Chinese use to describe their trade policy. According to Col. John Mills, hybrid war is a form of warfare (not bartering) that fuses the military with the civilian. A strategy that is easy for China to implement because they are Communist and the state legally holds controlling shares in all its corporations. Every business entity is also a potential military entity. All of which can be bent towards the will of the Chinese state.
And they are. Not for mere financial gain. For war. Against us.
But this is not the only conflict we are facing. We are also locked in a struggle with the West to save the West.
Kyle Shideler at the American Mind also invokes the concept of war when he talks about this in his article Cold Civil War Gone Global. The clunky phrasing parses together all the aspects of this conflict. It is a kind of civil war and it is also a cold war. And, for good measure, it’s gone global.
Shideler sees the outline of the conflict. America is locked in a kind of civil cold war which he describes as the increasingly volatile tensions between the “ruling class” and the “country class.” And when you see how the American ruling class is continually aided by, and aids, the ruling classes of European nations, our supposed allies, you have no choice but to interpret this collaboration as the awful unity that it is.
If British intelligence can help our CIA and FBI implement the Russiagate hoax, and if our USAID dollars prop up gatekeeper institutions like the BBC or Australian universities, then we are fools if we don’t conclude that the little plastic flags on the desks of those at MI5 and the CIA belie the fact that they are actually all on a single team that has nothing to do with their respective nation states. Or us, the citizens of those states.
If that sounds like an accusation of disloyalty or treason to you, that’s because it is. It means those unelected bureaucrats running the government show in DC have more common in with their counterparts in London or Brussels than they do with you and me here in the middle of suburban America...
Presumably, they’ve acknowledged that the cat has already been let out of the bag with Covid. So now they openly coordinate with each other doing things like sabotaging peace talks between Russia and Ukraine and coordinating a unified response to American tariffs.
We know who they are by their shared methods and goals. It’s no accident that all throughout the West nations are mimicking tactics in lawfare to suppress populist movements. In France, Marine Le Pen has been banned from politics.
Matteo Salvini of Italy escaped being prosecuted for the crime of upholding immigration law, Jair Bolsanaro of Brazil now cannot run until 2030. They actually jailed Calin Georgescu of Romania. And while our current president remains a fitting example of using judges to gatekeep politicians, a little-known J6er, Couy Griffin was actually barred from politics for life by a New Mexico state court which invoked a the Civil War era law against “insurrectionists.”
This transnational Deep State cabal have other shared prerogatives. Like mass immigration and Utopian fantasies about a borderless society, controlling people by censorship or limiting our food supply, weaponizing big data for use against the citizens, training weapons of warfare like drones and intelligence inward towards the very people such weapons were built to protect, and plying the population with massive amounts of pharmaceuticals as well as lethal illegal drugs like fentanyl.
They foment fear. They want us all afraid and yet perpetually tuned out on porn, drugs, or gambling. It’s bread and circuses for the 21st century. You’ll own nothing, eat bugs, spend your entire life never moving more than 15 minutes away, and you’ll be completely disenfranchised, faithless, and hopeless.
This is their shared Utopian vision. But who are “they”? When talking about bureaucrats, we call them “Deep State.” When talking about businesses they’re refereed to as “Globalists.” But they aren’t two different things. We’ve seen how they coordinate. They even take hits for each other when tactics demand it...
So let’s refine the concept a bit. It’s a war. And we know it’s a global war. That makes it a world war. But it’s not a world war like the clash of nations in world wars one and two. There are elements that make it like a civil war and like a cold war too — a fact I pointed out in my article on Cold Terror.

To facets of Chairman Mao's May 1966 Cultural Revolution - Domestic: stamp out vestiges of bourgeois economic activity. Foreign: declaration of war against the United States. Recent aggression spawning the Wuhan Covid pandemic and flooding America with fentanyl.
Comment on comment, the problem is why are people taking fentanyl? if no one buys/ takes it there is no problem. Removing one drug will achieve nothing unless the real problem is addressed.
